You are taking a suspect to Abuja. A suspect of that magnitude should be in handcuffs. He should be guided. But the police are telling the world that the suspect wanted to escape and vigilant men, not even the police shot and killed him. Where did these vigilant men come from? When did vigilant men start escorting suspects with Nigerian police?
The police said he was driving but yet his dead body was seen in the back seat of the vehicle. The worst is that police want us to believe that a suspect of such magnitude was allowed to drive his own car while he was taken to Abuja. Are the police telling us that the man was alone in that vehicle that he wanted to run? So no armed police man was with him inside the vehicle? When he wanted to run and a fire was opened at him, why didn’t the bullets touch others? Oh, I forgot they said he was driving his own car ALONE.
Do you believe the police? Because I don’t. Everything looked cooked up. I watched the video where Harrison showed the body of the man. They showed this dead body as if we should be happy he died. They were calling him a beast, but I see more beast in those who murdered this man. Yes, if we are a country of sane people we will know that the man was murdered.
With the murder of this man, all his accomplices have been protected. A high-profile suspect whose confession would have saved lots of women out there is someone they murdered and they are presenting it in a way that suggests we should thank them for killing a suspect. Some fools will say serves him right and I wonder if these people truly understand what a sane society is all about.
We are in a country where kidnappers will kidnap a man, take his ATM card, and withdraw money out of the account into another account yet the police won’t take it up. Then if they take your 200k, and you report to the police they will demand more than the amount that was stolen. If your phone is lost, the police will demand more than the price of the phone for tracking. Criminals in Nigeria are having a field day. No deterrent at all. We don’t know that it is innate in some people to steal, but when there are deterrents, that’s when the police make it difficult for one to steal without being caught. This will bring down the high level of crime drastically.
Arrest, questioning and prosecution of such suspects would have exposed a ring of organ traffickers who lure women, kill them and steal their vital organs. Organs in the black markets across the world majorly come from Nigeria. The number is so much that even if you disappear 200 people and butcher them every day in Nigeria no one would notice. This is the type of country you treasure and say should not be divided.
Even the police are shameless. Look at the stories they are telling and all of you who always believe their lies against IPOB are quiet. They told you a military couple were killed in Imo by IPOB and you believed them. No investigation, no suspect but they will always tell you IPOB did it. They lied against IPOB in Aba a few days ago, but because you hate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB you believe such a lying unprofessional police.
Those who murdered that young man are worse than him. They are evil. The man’s group must have made contact, paid a huge amount of money and sacrificed the man. That’s how they roll and he too knows about such an outcome.
Showing us his dead body will not make us clap for you. No one should get emotional about this. A sane society will investigate the group, bring them down and later through the court hand the young man a well-deserved punishment.
In Nigeria, criminals are celebrated while truth sayers are in jail. Is Abba Kyari, not a free man today, while Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is in a DSS hole under severe torture?
